Item Description
Iconic and highly sought-after wall lamp from the Zodiac series, designed by Jacques Biny for LITA (Luminaire Industriel et Technique). This model is a quintessential example of French mid-century modern lighting, combining graphic strength with refined functional design. The lamp features a sculptural black lacquered metal shade with Biny’s signature perforations, designed to diffuse light softly while creating a striking play of light and shadow on the wall. The bold, architectural silhouette is both decorative and purposeful, reflecting Biny’s background in engineering and his commitment to rational, modern lighting solutions. Elegant yet understated, the Zodiac wall lamp is well suited for use in pairs or multiples in hallways, living spaces, or bedrooms, and works equally well in residential and professional interiors. Its timeless design and restrained palette make it a versatile statement piece. A classic work by one of the most important French lighting designers of the 20th century and an emblematic model of LITA’s innovative post-war production.
